Chicken Wings Franchise with a Flavorholic Story

Necessity is the mother of invention. Founders Matt Freidman and Adam Scott grew up in upstate New York so when they ventured off to college in Florida they missed a few things from home. As students at the University of Florida, one thing they craved on game day was the crispy, flavorful wings from home. They decided that if they couldn’t find them, they would create them. “If there are no decent wings in Gainesville, we’ll just have to make our own.” so each evening, Matt and Adam commandeered their fraternity house kitchen to serve as a chicken wing laboratory. Into the night, they developed flavor ideas and served the hot wings to a house full of willing taste testers. Little did they know that their “research assignment” would one day become an international franchise operation. One by one they perfected recipes that years later would become Wing Zone’s trademark flavors.

Thirty years later, their initial concept has exploded into a wing empire that has amassed an impressive following throughout the country and now the world. Our customers continually come back to us because of our 18 award-winning flavors and impressive guest-focused customer service. We were named a 2019 Fast Casual Top 100 Mover & Shaker and as we continue to expand, we are looking for driven entrepreneurs to help us bring our concept into new communities across the globe.

A NEW ERA

In 2021 Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop, Inc’s leadership acquired Wing Zone. Jason Smylie, President and Ashley Morris, CEO, were well acquainted with Wing Zone and had formed a friendship with Matt and Adam over the years. The vision of the acquisition was to take Wing Zone to a national level and create efficient operations with multi-unit franchising opportunities. By applying the proven systems and processes from Capriotti’s, as well as leveraging national vendor relationships, Wing Zone has quickly become a national brand.

Creating efficiencies in operation has been at the forefront of the growth opportunities for the Wing Zone brand. Refining the menu, updating the image and investing in the latest and greatest technology, Wing Zone 2.0 was successfully launched in July 2022.

From our revolutionary cooking process to our new focused menu and fresh shop design, the WIng Zone 2.0 gives customers an experience they can’t find anywhere else!
